Triangle Genese Quartet HiFi Floor Standing Speaker, Black, SINGLE

After you have removed the cover which protects it, just like a musical instrument, you will be won over by Quartet's sheer personality. Triangle engineering and technology helps it to get as close to the real sound as possible, allowing it to reproduce either the subtlety of an opera or the sound slam of a rock concert.

Triangle Started using the pod-mounted tweeter when the company designed the CX2 speaker back in 1981. Triangle updated this technology for Genese, whose tweeter is pod-mounted to half of its height. This position allows a balance between the reflection of sounds through the front of the enclosure and the diffraction caused by the changes to the cabinet's shape. This gives a more transparent, more open, smoother listening experience. The components of the sound are more detailed, more accurate and make up an amazing three-dimensional unit.

The Genese midrange drives have the capacity of reproducing the frequencies most audible to the human ear. It thus enables the extremely sensitive ear to perceive any deviation from the original signal. Based on its experience, Triangle recommends using a cellulose pulp membrane because it is so light and introduces very little coloration. This membrane, combined with a finely-pleated peripheral suspension, enables voices to be reproduced with amazing precision.

The unusual thing about the Twin Vent is that it discharges the rear wave created by the bass drivers through a single vent. This system means that each of the drivers can operate in complete isolation. Increasing the volume of the sound does not disrupt the tonal balance, the only remaining distortion limit is the driver mechanics. The results in terms of power handling are amazing. The listening experience offers dynamic, solid, well-sustained bass.

The Spec (Single point energy conductor) is a brushed steel spike. Like the cello, it discharges part of the mechanical energy to the ground, thus contributing to the excellence of the sound. The cabinet vibrates less which means that it remains neutral in relation to the sound reproduction. Triangle stands out through attention to detail.

Little magnets which are the same diameter as the driver screws are placed behind the grille. They have been designed to fit very precisely and effortlessly onto the screws in the drivers. This is a very handy way of ensuring that each speaker grille's hooking system is invisible.
